And a few words of caution: Be aware of the possible presence of gluten (wheat) in many condiments and canned goods (vinegars, mustards, spice mixes, broths, ketchup, salsa, pasta sauce, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste, to name a few). I like to make my own broths and spice mixes, and read all labels in detail to get around this. Although we provide Serving Suggestions with each recipe, I strongly suggest adding a nice big green salad with all the fixins (make sure you add good fats like, avocado, nuts or even bacon!) to each meal OR a bowl of Mitochondria Miracle SoupOR even a little of both! These extra veggies will help round out your meals and give you extra micronutrients. As with other Menu-Mailers, the Serving Suggestions are double-asterisked (**) on the Shopping Lists and are entirely optional.
Leannes Basic Vinaigrette Makes 1/4 cup 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 clove garlic, pressed Pinch of dried basil Pinch of dried oregano Mix all together, use 1 tablespoon per salad.
